Equality & Diversity

At Lyneham Primary School, we are proud to be a diverse and inclusive community where everyone is valued, respected and celebrated for who they are.

We are committed to promoting equality of opportunity and eliminating discrimination for all members of our school community—children, staff, families and visitors. We recognise and actively embrace the richness that comes from our diverse population, which includes a wide range of languages, cultures, faiths, identities, and life experiences.

We believe that every child has the right to feel safe, included and able to thrive—regardless of their background, ability, race, gender, faith, sexual orientation or family circumstance. We are equally committed to supporting our staff team, ensuring that Lyneham is a place where adults can grow professionally, feel empowered in their roles, and work in an environment rooted in respect and dignity.

We take proactive steps to remove barriers to learning and participation for all children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), English as an additional language (EAL), or those who may be vulnerable to disadvantage. Through inclusive teaching, personalised support and a culture of high expectations, we aim for equity in outcomes as well as access.

We are committed to recruiting and developing a workforce that reflects the diversity of the community we serve, and we promote inclusive practice through staff training, open dialogue and a shared responsibility to challenge discrimination wherever it arises.

At Lyneham, inclusion is not an add-on—it is woven through everything we do. Our values of kindness, curiosity, courage and integrity guide us in ensuring that everyone can belong, contribute, and succeed.
